We are also indebted to him for the chapter on "Tobacco as an Incitant to the Use of Alcoholic Stimulant," which immediately follows this one, and which was especially prepared by him for the present volume.
DANGERS THAT BESET THE REFORMED INEBRIATE.
BY DR.

R.P.

HARRIS.
_"Come, take a drink."_--How pernicious is this treating generosity of the inebriate, and how important to the reformed to be firm in declining his invitation.

To hesitate, is, in most cases, to yield.
_Old companions._--These should be avoided, and made to understand that their company is not congenial; and new and safe ones should be selected.
_Attacks of sickness._--A quondam inebriate should never employ a physician who drinks, and should always tell his medical attendant that he cannot take any medicine containing alcohol.

It is very unsafe to resort to essence of ginger, paregoric, spirits of lavender or burnt brandy, and friends very injudiciously, sometimes, recommend remedies that are dangerous in the extreme.
